American Roulette Review

The Game: A wheel with blocks numbered 0 to 36 is spun in one direction. A ball is spun around the wheel and as the ball slows, it drops into one of the numbered pockets of the wheel. You bet on which pocket the ball will drop into.

Odds & Strategy: This is iGlobalMedia's 'American' double-zero roulette (with two zeros) which sets the basic house edge to 5.26%.
iGlobalMedia casino makes use of a great rule here that puts the player in a better position: the 'la partage' rule (also called the 'en prison rule' or 'Hamburg variation of the European half back rule'): you lose only half your bet if the zero comes up when betting on the 'outside' bets (the 'outside' bets are the bets that pay even money: high/low; red/black; odd/even). By losing only half your bet, the house edge on these ('outside') bets is cut down to 2.63% (the half). Remember, however, that an 'inside' bet still has the double-zero house edge of 5.26% against it.
So if you prefer to bet on one of the inside bets once in a while, you really should find a casino that offers European roulette, since the house edge there is 2.7% on all bets alike. But if you are an outside bettor, who likes to bet on high, low, red, black, odd or even only, you should stick to iGlobalMedia's American roulette version since it offers slightly better odds for those bets (2.63%).

The betting limits here are $1-$100.

Summary: That's a very good American roulette version since offering 'La Partage'. The betting limits are not good though. Play in a casino higher up the roulette toplist.
